Advanced Critical Care Services
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)
ECMO is an advanced life-support technique used for selected patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure.
It temporarily supports heart and/or lung function, allowing time for recovery or providing support while patients are being prepared for a transplant.
Respiratory and Cardiac Support
Our ICUs are equipped with mechanical ventilators, intra-aortic balloon pumps, pacemakers and advanced haemodynamic monitoring systems to support patients with critical heart and lung conditions.
Continuous cardiac monitoring enables close observation of patients requiring intensive care.
Renal and Nutritional Support
Bedside dialysis facilities support patients requiring renal care, while total parenteral nutrition provides essential nutrients intravenously when patients cannot receive adequate nutrition through their digestive system.
Pain Management
The department offers patient-controlled pain relief systems, regional nerve blocks and other specialised pain-management techniques, supported by nerve locators and C-arm imaging where required.
Advanced ICU Facilities
Saifee Hospital’s ICUs are equipped with specialised technology for monitoring, diagnosis and treatment.
Facilities include:
- Mechanical ventilators and infusion pumps
- Blood gas analysers
- Portable ultrasound and bronchoscopes
- Glide scopes for airway management
- Advanced haemodynamic and cardiac monitoring systems
- Intra-aortic balloon pumps and pacemakers
- Therapeutic hypothermia machines
- Bedside dialysis units
- Positive and negative pressure isolation rooms
These facilities support the management of complex critical illnesses while maintaining a focus on patient safety and infection control.
Infection Control and Patient Safety
Patient safety and infection prevention are important priorities in critical care.
Saifee Hospital’s ICU received recognition for Innovation in Infection Control at the 5th International Patient Safety Congress in 2015, including an award for Best Infection Prevention and Practice.
The department has also reported hospital-associated infection rates consistently below national rates and comparable to international benchmarks.
Positive and negative pressure isolation rooms further support infection prevention and the management of patients requiring specialised precautions.
Expertise and Specialised Training
Saifee Hospital’s Department of Critical Care Medicine is supported by experienced intensivists, nurses and paramedics trained to manage complex medical emergencies and critical illnesses.
The department is also a teaching institute for Critical Care Medicine, offering specialised programmes such as FNB, IDCCM and ISCCM courses for doctors and nurses.
This emphasis on medical education and specialised training reflects the department’s commitment to maintaining high standards of critical care.
